General Dentistry

General dentistry services encompass a wide range of dental care services that are designed to maintain oral health and prevent tooth decay and other oral health problems. These services include routine checkups and cleanings, as well as more specialized procedures such as fillings, crowns, bridges, and implants.

Maintaining good oral health is important for overall health and well-being. Poor oral health has been linked to a number of serious health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. General dentistry services can help prevent these problems by keeping teeth and gums healthy.

During a general dentistry visit, your dentist will examine your teeth and gums for signs of decay or other problems. He or she will also clean your teeth and may take x-rays to check for problems that cannot be seen with the naked eye. If necessary, your dentist will provide treatment to prevent or treat oral health problems.

It is generally recommended that you see a dentist every six months for routine checkups and cleanings. However, if you have an oral health problem, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits.

The cost of general dentistry services varies depending on the procedures performed and the dentist’s fees. Many dental insurance plans cover at least a portion of the cost of routine checkups and cleanings, as well as some preventive and diagnostic procedures. However, you may have to pay out of pocket for more extensive dental work.
